“ The dark side's callin' now, nothin' is real She'll never know just how I feel From out of the shadows she walks like a dream Make me feel crazy, make me feel so mean ” ― Eddie And The Cruisers, [ On the Dark Side ]

Everyone's story has its villain. The one heralded has a the hero protagonist in a story is the antagonist in someone else's. Of course, There are such things as fables being deemed as the canon villain. In Regina's eyes, sometimes, one just had to embrace that villain's role that was handed down to them. "Embrace the monster they made you out to be," she whispered into his ear. "Aren't you actual darkness?" Every chance she had, she enjoyed taunting the one known as the Boogeyman. Such a beloved yet feared character in the stories parents would tell children to have them sleep on time. Just like her, he was another "demon" that gave people the creeps. On the other hand, she, not only embraced it, she actually acted upon her own stories. She had smeared her hands so many times in blood that she had lost count perhaps centuries ago.

It was almost night out when she met the latter outside at some park. For the past couple of days, she had her people scope the area to see if any misbehaving children broke the law and would stay out pass curfew. In this particular park, some kids were still enjoying that once viral mobile game and would come to either "reinforce their gym" or to "seize the gym". It was the ideal place to push the latter into at least scaring the children into obedience. She wished they were at some cemetery however. Then, she would have been part of the action too if they were eager to invoke a demon. Today was not about her. She had to remind herself several times.

"Right there," Regina said once more as she pointed the group of children barely in their preteens. "Why don't you show us all what...I mean who is the Boogeyman?" she continued on pestering him. "You haven't been active that, on this site for what they call Creepypastas, you've been replaced by this entity known as Slenderman. You had such a reputation and you let it end like that."

it’s so easy to tell when she’s furious.

lights dim and the room practically shakes when jinsoul is in a bad mood; gravity is a law that she doesn’t have to obey and it leaves a sort of awestruck fear in the eyes of those who face her fury.  she remembers her mother telling her to control herself once when she was younger because she didn’t want the world to know what it was her daughter could do - how amazing the gift that runs warm and hot in her blood is.  but now that the secret is out, now that she’s been taken once and learned everything she could to prevent it from happening again, there’s no holding back the rage that burns cold within her.

all of it this time is directed to her brother, who more or less deserves it.  because she knows what dark thing he had to do to save her, and there should have been no excuse for it.  he should have found another way.

it’s only the first time she’s seen him since she felt the winds shift that terrible night; it took too long to get back to him but seeing him now raises the hair on the back of her neck.  he looks haunted, and she knows why, because she knows all too well about the story of the boogeyman who steals children late at night.

the blood is on her hands as much as it is on his.

“ how could you?” she hisses at him, the first words uttered from her lips as her feet dangle slightly above the floor.  inwardly, jinsoul knows she should be thanking him for being gracious enough to make this sacrifice.  to completely kill his goodness in order to save her, she should be holding him with tears in her eyes and apologies on her lips.  but this is too bitter of a pill to swallow, and she’s left heartbroken because of it.  everyone hates her brother, and it’s all because of her.  “ of all things mother taught you never to do -”
